Abstract

A confirmed African swine fever (ASF) outbreak in Nigeria was further investigated by partial sequencing of the B464L and E183L genes of ASF virus (ASFV). Results revealed the first-time presence of ASFV genotype II in Nigeria and West Africa. This finding has serious implications for control measures and food security.
